TO THE UNITED STATES

REF: 2006 STATE 43502


1. On May 16, 2007, U.S. Marshals will return Arnoldo Cabrera
Dominguez to the United States to stand trial in the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of New York for
conspiracy to import and distribute more than five kilograms
of cocaine, as detailed in indictment number S1 05-CR-1278
(NRB),filed on March 2, 2006. As laid out in the
indictment, Cabrera was the head of an organization that
smuggled multi-kilogram quantities of cocaine into the United
States and distributed it in the greater New York and New
Jersey area. On June 1, 2005, that organization smuggled 409
kilograms of cocaine into Newark International Airport, where
it was subsequently seized by the U.S. Drug Enforcement
Administration.


2. This case was brought before the Dominican government on
March 22, 2006, by virtue of an Embassy diplomatic note.
Shortly afterward, on May 18, 2006, a provisional arrest
warrant was issued by the Criminal Chamber of the Dominican
Supreme Court pursuant to the USG request for extradition.
Cabrera was arrested by officers of the National Drug Control
Directorate's Fugitive Unit on April 17, 2007. He made a
voluntary, knowing, and intelligent waiver of his right to
contest extradition before the Dominican Supreme Court on
April 23, 2007.


3. The return of Cabrera will mark the 18th
Dominican-national fugitive returned through or in lieu of
extradition proceedings during CY-2007 (the 9th for FY-2007).
